Interior Colour schemes

Hi all,

About to order a MCS in dark silver, with black leather, and wondered what interior colours you all think would go best. Should I stick with the standard grey trim or possibly add the cream white trim to it.

Will be having white roof,mirrors and wheels as well, i think.

Thanks

Scott

I decided against white trim in the end, because I thought it might smudge (knowing myself, it would...).

I really, really did not like the standard grey ovals in the doors (so went for Piano black on those)

You've opted for a very striking monochromatic exterior so you should carry the theme on to the interior. I'd go for anthracite headlining, dark grey color line and either brushed alloy or poss std grey colour line and then use the JCW carbon kit to bring the dark silver effect onto the dash??

Thanks,

Bob, I am not sure I will be overly keen on the likely cost of ading the JCW carbon trim for the interior.

Still contemplating the adding of the JCW aero kit for the outside, that will limit(to an extent) the available budget for other goodies.

Piano Black was my initial thought, although also tempted by silver interior trim as well in order to avoid it being too dark!

Anthracite headlining is a iven as I have that in my current 3 series and its really good for not ever getting dirty, which light coloured head cloth does!!

THanks all for the replies so far.

They just give you tooo many options to choose from!!!

Piano Black/Cream Colour Line Then I may well be slightly biased Take a look in my gallery to get and idea - Only got the cream 1/2 leather, but at least you will get an idea

I must admit that with all the black (black half leather, grey trim, piano black and anthracite roof lining), it did take some getting used to the fact that it feels a bit closed in.

Very happy with it, though
